Synopsis:

Chefs often describe their jobs as being 24/7, and now hosts Michael Symon and Esther Choi put that to the test as 24 chefs face 24 challenges in 24 non-stop hours. The chefs take on eight shifts, each testing a different skill, for a chance to win $50,000. In Food Network’s most ambitious culinary competition to date, the chefs are taken to the extreme, demanding they display the skills needed to be an elite chef. At the end of the 24 hours, there can be only one true master left standing. The chef who cooks the best, for the longest and outlasts the competition will take home $50,000 and win a trip of a lifetime. In this episode, the first three-hour shift is designed to test one of the most important qualities a true master must possess: speed. Speed judge Jet Tila will taste and score every dish and the chefs are served up a shocking twist that sets the tone for the rest of the competition, letting them know that no one will be safe from elimination until the end.
